Hart's Ice Cream of St Ives


The famous outlet for ice cream closes its doors but not before one last rendition of the ditty Doble’s Wall. The wall is a famous location on the St Ives seafront in Cornwall and named after a man called Doble. Hart's Ice Cream is selling up and the secret recipe for creamy vanilla ice will go too. Made from fresh milk every day, people will have enjoyed Hart's brand of vanilla for almost a century. Two old photos show the delivery van and the family sitting on Doble's Wall.
